Formatting?

I hope to never to stress my opinion on anyone....(and please bring it to my attention if I do)..

I strive to offer facts about the discussion and let people decide for themselves how they choose to use those facts...

I was joking, not directed at you. I just dl'd that sdformatter and will use tonight. I appreciate the link.

Thanks Mike...

Sometimes I choose incorrect words in my posts that could be taken in a manner that I do not mean them...

I am human... (and podunk...:) )

Under "options" do I choose full erase or full overwrite?
Under "Format size" do I choose "on" or "off"

Don.. A lot of the jargon in the user manual (when you download) is way over my head... Maybe Tom could explain it better...

If the program recognizes that you have a card in your SD slot... It will give the info about your card in the main window...(your SD slot drive letter in the "Drive" field ...and the card size in the "Size" field....)

Then in the "options" button choose ;
"Format Type"... "Full" (Erase)
"Format Size Adjustment" (Off)

Hopefully someone will correct me if I'm wrong on the next 2 of my guesses;
I think "Full" (Overwrite) ... Overwrites stuff that shouldn't be overwrited...
I think "Format Size Adjustment" (On) ... Increases the advertised capacity of the card by some "magic" mumbojumbo..

So... Once again... to be safe...

Choose :
"Format Type" (Full)
"Format Size Adjustment" (Off)
